I did discover a little mix-up with "beginning" and "ending" in this section on guessing the gender of nouns:
quote:Ainmfhocail dar críoch consan
Nouns beginning with consonants
Is féidir inscne ainmfhocal a thosaíonn ar chonsan a thomhas go réasúnta cruinn ach leaid a bhaint as siolla deireanach an fhocail.
The gender of nouns that end with a consonant can be guessed with reasonable accuracy from the word's final syllable.
